A very down-to-earth report on the Lexus CT basics - interior and controls. Something you do not get with the dealers video or the pro/TV reviews! Thanks ever so much for this practical guide!
Well, everyone has different opinions and tastes, personally I enjoy this car. Good interior and exterior features. Of course people will dislike it if it doesn't fulfill what they are looking for. You can have see the car in person, and go for a test drive to see well it maintains, if you are looking to buy a car. Also, stop comparing this to Sports cars. This is meant for the city, not for the race tracks.
kyle, you haven't done any used cars in a while, could you do a few videos at your dad's dealership if u get a chance? the new car videos take up a lot of time to watch, but they are nice.
This car is NOT based on the Lexus HS at all. The HS is based on the EU-market Toyota Avensis, and the CT200h is based on the Prius platform AND Prius drivetrain, not just the drivetrain as you advise in your review.
I'm not sure about USA, but I own this car in Australia, and it was cheaper than the Prius at the time of purchase. Really don't know what was going there....Not complaining though!
The only thing I don't like about this vs the Prius is having the dated looking gauges. I mean for a normal IS250/350 sure, but I think the CT needs a little more updates with the instrumentation.
exterior looks great but interior seems lacking. not a fan of the prius shifter and the mouse pad looks like it can distract the driver to death. rear seat looks cramped as hell too. overall great review kyle!
I took my IS250 FSport in for a service the other day and the dealer gave me a 2013 CT200h with only 700 miles on the clock. I have to say, I really liked it and loved the gas economy. But when you add this up, you're looking at $40k. I just cannot see myself paying that much for what essentially is a Prius in disguise :o(
Good review, but you forgot to mention (for audio enthusiast) it has a USB connectivity and Aux MP3 Input unless the US model does not have it. I am sure it delivers more than 40 mph. Acclaimed is a whopping 70 mph, but 50 mph is the expected norm with passengers.
@TheAuto101 Well, if the cars were in car shows they take the shift knobs so other people can't take them. Put in a dealership I don't know why. Maybe when people go on test drives alone ?
ok i think it is me coz i felt hilarious when the navigation speaks HELLO,it reminds me of glozell hello is u okay .... lol how about that if its really true LOL
@TreCamachoLives Probably not, hybrid cars are in cities a bit more efficient due to the electro-engine. They can't use electro engines on the motorway, so the petrol engine has to work a bit harder. While driving in a city, the petrol engine is supported by it's electro-brother, so it has to work less hard = less fuel consumption in the city.
how come you go all the way to las vegas which is 35 hrs away and not to Charlotte Lexus if there is one im from australia. and how do you get there but plane or car
@shuffleman321 That's because on the Hihgway he have to run constantly on gas, but in the city he can use the electric-mode, the traffic light shutdown, the fuel cut-off system when running to a red light,..... and stuff like that.Hope I answered your question ;)
that beeping noise would drive me crazy! I have a question about about the mpg, did you say that it gets 43 city, and 40 highway? Isn't it normally the other way around?
@Lexuslover123 If hybrids are so "environmentally friendly," why is the area around the smelter in Ontario, where the nickel is smelted for the batteries in the Prius, like a wasteland? The environment is damaged so badly, plants and animals are unable to survive within a couple mile radius of the smelter. Not to mention the methods used to transport the nickel.
Man this little car is so well built even the paint job is awesome. Looks well built like any Lexus and I love the Design.
Lexus makes some nice cars
Man, thank you for this video... It made me decide to buy one, and I love it. ;)
hey ik it’s been a while since you’ve commented but I want to get one.. how do you like it so far, and what do you dislike?
@@vend3ttaverano778 Hey! Did you end up getting one? Would you recommend it?
@@rebalelkhachen6595 too young to get a car lol
you make the best car reviews....better than top gear. Keep up the good work, man!
I like this car alot btw.
you uploaded this video on my birthday THANKS
I love the looks of this car. It's one of the best looking hatchbacks in my opinion, but it needs a more powerful engine. Otherwise, I would buy one.

DA CAR IS A REAL BEAUTY
ahead of its time...and cheeper than an audi..bmw..or mercedes with an overall better impression...really better...
i cannot WAIT to buy this car. it IS my next purchase.

the last 3 videos before this never made it to my sub box
That color is stunningggggg
Very nice car
This video is from my birthday 12 of august and in 2011 i get to 12 years . kyle you give me a birthday gift thank you
Also, there is a small hidden compartment for you reading glass/sun glass, just by your rear view mirror.
saabkyle, you rock man. Helped me out a lot in choosing which car to buy.
the way it changes from blue to red is gangster
I like this toyota very much!
This car in silver or red with the larger black F-sport wheels and mesh grill would look amazing.
The luxury version of the Prius?
I mean yes lol😭😭😭😂😂
Yea
A better looking one, too.
I would buy this car in the UK courtesy of its good running costs/ownership
This car looks sweet in person.
First review I've known for him not to be in North Carolina
Instead of buying this car my dad got a 335d... boy am i glad he did that!
i'am in love
EdiownedU yes!
Wow Kyle, even when your on vacation your working! Don't over work yourself budd!
I really like the beep that the system does ...
I own the F Sport version of this car. The grill and the rims look so much better.
kyle, you haven't done any used cars in a while, could you do a few videos at your dad's dealership if u get a chance? the new car videos take up a lot of time to watch, but they are nice.
Excellent Demo! Nice car. Thank you!

no hydrolic popup hood for expensive car?
How much wind could there possibly be where you go? Like holy crap.
I'm not sure about USA, but I own this car in Australia, and it was cheaper than the Prius at the time of purchase.
Really don't know what was going there....Not complaining though!

do you rent cars to review or does the dealership let you review them or do you buy them?
The voice command lady sounds so happy XD
Cruel cruel summer👌
With the Golf Bluemotion and Ford Econetic returning well over 60 mpg Toyota/Lexus hybrids have a lot to answer for.
Nice car overall, but interior quality screams Toyota with the exception of the leather wrapped wheel and pop-up nav.
Imagine if every infotainment system in modern cars made that ping sound every time you pressed it
They should have made the F-Sport model have the Camry hybrid drive train to attract younger buyers!!!

I really like this cars interior design. Also I saw one of these the other week and almost wrecked looking at it...HAHA.
Whoa, when did you go to Vegas? Partying it up??
Loved this car !!!!
Good review, but you forgot to mention (for audio enthusiast) it has a USB connectivity and Aux MP3 Input unless the US model does not have it. I am sure it delivers more than 40 mph. Acclaimed is a whopping 70 mph, but 50 mph is the expected norm with passengers.
My mom gets a consistent 48 mpg from her 2012 ct200h. Its a great car
@TheAuto101 Only seems to be Lexus, they did it in IS-F video
Pump brakes = able to power car. Love it!
@TheAuto101 Well, if the cars were in car shows they take the shift knobs so other people can't take them. Put in a dealership I don't know why. Maybe when people go on test drives alone ?
Why is my Lexus ct200H 2011 doesn’t have bt in my music section
How do you convince dealers to let you touch and film all over their new cars? What is your connection.
@GTA4Forever I think he means that you can still steal it without the shifting knob. I agree it doesn't make a difference.
not only in us...it's pretty much everywhere...maybe your car is a base model so it's cheaper than a top prius?
38C?! It never gets that hot here and I live in a tropical country. :O
can you start recommending cars for first time drivers please and thanks
HEYY i love your videos umm.. can you do a video on a mitsubishi lancer evolution?
awesome car
ok i think it is me coz i felt hilarious when the navigation speaks HELLO,it reminds me of glozell hello is u okay .... lol how about that if its really true LOL
I really like that color
i cant watch your videos at 480p at full screen anymore,im just curious as to why that is.
@cupramac you're right, its unfortunate that we dont get as many diesel technology here in the states.
Mooie en goede auto. (. Ik rijd deze auto )
Ik ook ;)
@TreCamachoLives Probably not, hybrid cars are in cities a bit more efficient due to the electro-engine. They can't use electro engines on the motorway, so the petrol engine has to work a bit harder. While driving in a city, the petrol engine is supported by it's electro-brother, so it has to work less hard = less fuel consumption in the city.
This and the Honda CR-Z are what I like to call "teases". They look good but it's still a hybrid.
The steering wheel doesn't adjust when you turn it on anymore?
Kyle you should review the LFA!
It opens like an Audi.
It looks little like the new shape impreza from the rear.
@mid918 are you talking about the hummer thing?
@Goldenrod636 no it's not. Lexus made the IS300 Sportcross which looked damn near close to this car
Very cool! Isn't this based on the Prius!
i like how the interior looks a bit like the lfa
he is when he reaches the 100,000 subscriber
@walkthepark They already have, it's called the IS
how come you go all the way to las vegas which is 35 hrs away and not to Charlotte Lexus if there is one im from australia. and how do you get there but plane or car
Nice...So its illegal to use a phone to text when driving but its ok to use a computer?
CT "The Pursuit Of Perfection."
@shuffleman321 That's because on the Hihgway he have to run constantly on gas, but in the city he can use the electric-mode, the traffic light shutdown, the fuel cut-off system when running to a red light,..... and stuff like that.Hope I answered your question ;)
@k20Tuner08 good point. well, still not that smart. they need to replace the batteries at some point which cost quite a lot.
43 city and 40 highway? was that a mistake?
that beeping noise would drive me crazy! I have a question about about the mpg, did you say that it gets 43 city, and 40 highway? Isn't it normally the other way around?
Like I said before, you can mute the beep. it is a Simple command in the setup screen
Wht happens if you pull the shifter down to "b"? What does that do?
this little car is actually really cool i would buy one ^_&
the 2011-present Lexus CT200h is assembled in
Miyawaka, Fukuoka, Japan
@schecterguitarsfan nothing wrong with the hybrid, i'd just prefer something along the lines of the mazda3speed, except for the fwd.
ohhhh yeah ace of base
@cupramac half? are you saying diesels get 80+ mpg?
@TheAuto101 ppl seal them wont stop someone from stealing the car. but hey lol. my main gripe is hte heighth of the centre console
@coffeeman220 It engages the inverter to create an artificial engine brake and charges the battery more quickly. Very useful on downhills.
is there a power option for the rear hatch?
Kyle...how long are u staying in Vegas...just want to know.
@Lexuslover123 If hybrids are so "environmentally friendly," why is the area around the smelter in Ontario, where the nickel is smelted for the batteries in the Prius, like a wasteland?

Luxury hybrids are the way of the future.
needs dual polished exhaust tips
I work at a dealership and the people steal the shift knobs and put them on eBay... They are always missing..
why does it have a key hole if it has no key
@TheOneCob22 it does have an i4, its just a hybrid
where is testdrive?
